Balsa recalls how Jiguro killed hunters one by one, prompting her vow to save an equal number of lives for her protection. Five years later, Logsam is reported dead during his reign. Jiguro fell ill and died after expressing his fondness for Balsa. Upon hearing this, Chagum requests Balsa to train him while they await spring. At night, Tanda hints at wanting to spend his life with Balsa but cannot admit it. The next day, Chagum floats above a canyon in the spirit realm filled with giant insects. Balsa holds him while Tanda’s voice guides him, allowing them to calm him and return his soul.
